    Hi all,

    I had to call in sick today as I had a painful night with stomach pains and bloatedness, which was similar to the mild OHSS I had between EC & ET.

    I called the clinic this morning and they squeezed me in for a scan and as I suspected I've got fluid in my abdomen and around the ovaries which is mild OHSS, plus my ovaries are bunched up together which is extra painful. They've took blood and I've got to ring up in the morning for results (the blood will show if the OHSS is taking fluid from my circulation) they've also booked me in for a scan a week tomorrow to check the fluid has gone, but if I get worse in the meantime I should call up.

    Totally unexpectedly they did a pregnancy test on me; my OTD is Friday. I wasn't prepared at all but it was a BFP! I was in shock and as I wasn't expecting to be tested all alone!!!

    This feels very surreal, but exciting!
